This is because humans have a wrong notion of free will. Free will is not egoic will. God's will is necessarily good, loving, and intelligent. That's what makes it free. But the mind can't comprehend that because it wants to maintain a limited control over reality. It's like the mind watching a movie and thinking it's creating it. No! The movie is prior to the mind. And the mind is part of the movie. There are no laws of physics! Even though, there seems to be. This is a mindfuck, but nevertheless true. It's not that they don't exist experimentally. They do, or to be more precise, they have been, as far as our knowledge goes. But we can't expect reality to keep behaving in the same ways forever, because reality is non-linear and a-rational. We can never know what may create twists in how reality works. ... Of course, all of this communication is not what it actually is, because ultimately there's no such thing as "will". It's just God being Itself without "doing" or "willing" anything.

I just woke up from a horrible nightmare. I don't recall the details, but I was going insane and disappearing into a void somehow. Didn't feel that horrible, though. However, phew! Glad to be back here. ?

What do you mean abstract/ultimate sense? Actually, yes. That's what I realised recently. The bones, the heart, and the cells are all conscious and alive, and the thing that is conscious is precisely the same thing that is me and you. Nothing is happening abstractly, automatically, or spontaneously for no reason. There's something hidden behind the scenes that's creating everything and controlling every little detail.

You are Truth. So, yes. You are making the choices. You even chose to live your life. The twist here is that Truth is nothing, and therefore, it's not a 'thing' that chooses, because a 'thing' implies that there's another thing to contrast with. Truth is the choice itself. It's everything.

@Beginner Mind I find this video very helpful in such occasions.

Serotoninluv is, make no mistake, the most intelligent person I've ever seen in my entire life. I wish I could meet him someday. That would be very interesting. I've known some really intelligent people, but he's by far the most intelligent. My best friend in real life is really smart, but Serotoninluv is easily way more smarter. I wish I could spend a lot of time in his company. When I interact with other people, my mind automatically soaks up their intelligence. It automatically imitates theirs. Of course, people don't get dumber. Interacting with me raises other people's consciousness. I'm always alert to the subtlest distinctions, and I have a really keen eye for the details, so I have a lot to offer. But the right person has to be there. "When the student is ready, the teacher shows up. And when the teacher is ready, the student shows up. It works both ways." -- Jed McKenna (edited). .. I've decided to start learning the German language. I'll apply for a course as soon as possible. This could be interesting. I'll make sure to enjoy the process rather than looking for the outcomes. .. Not sure what these emojis imply. .. I'd already awoken to being, love, beauty, intelligence, and freedom earlier. Yet, I was never aware of the connection between them. Basically, I am the connection! I am the reason for existence. It's sensational that this was synchronised around Valentine's day. I'm still in awe of how profound this realisation is! It creates a positive feedback loop for acceptance. So, basically, I'm now in being on steroids. The picture now is complete! Thanks to my friend Mandy and her reply ?? .. It's amazing! I have no identification with the body or with anything right now. The vehicles I'm using are not mine, yet mine in a twisted way, because they are me. The hands and the fingers and everything. It seems ridiculous to even identify with anything smaller than the whole being. I am everything. It's just that simple. .. One of the benefits of detachment is that when you enter a discussion, even if the other person cannot understand where they're limiting themselves, it's totally fine, because that's how love wants, and I must obey. .. Valentine's day is about to end, and I still haven't heard from my loved one. I pushed her into solitude. It's been 14 days since we last talked. She's now working hard to achieve her goals. She's doing her best. And she will be rewarded. We're a perfect team. The most beautiful thing she's ever said to me was when I was telling her that I always find myself behind in life. Why is that the case? "To find me". She cutely replied ? She's the ultimate prize, and I love her to infinity ♥️

@weareacouple I have nothing but respect for your strong relationship and strong commitment to what you believe is right. Good luck.

@Serotoninluv Wow! Awesome! ♥️ @Sebiwert This is exactly what we're trying to do here with spirituality. There's no denial of science whatsoever. The scientific, experimental method is the basis of this work.

I used to experience the same kind of highs you're describing. But I didn't use to experience lows next to them. I'm interested in the responses..

@SOUL Classic! ???

It's really difficult to communicate with someone who thinks they've got it all figured out. I'm ready to discuss more when you'll be more open.

@weareacouple You're thinking thousands of years ahead of other people. Nudity is still not appropriate for the standards of our societies. Even Facebook and YouTube don't allow a fully naked body. I think your marriage is incredible as it is. You're way ahead of your time. I still find it hard to understand why you would need to go naked in the streets. Yes, the human body is a blessing, not a shame. But not everyone understands that. Please try to understand that, for your own sake. Because if you poke that issue, it'll poke you back, and you may not like it. Centuries of brainwashing are not easy to unravel. It's like trying to make a baby run a 10k marathon.

Here's the list of the questions I asked my girlfriend; 1) What makes "the perfect man" in your opinion? 2) What makes "the perfect relationship" in your opinion? 3) What makes "the perfect marriage" in your opinion? 4) Would you date/marry yourself as who you currently are? If not, why? 5) What are the foundations for both man and woman to have the best communication possible? 6) A lot of people think they're exceptional and that they will have perfect relationships. The truth is that virtually no one at all has it. Why is this the case? And how to avoid it? 7) Do you think that one successful partner could turn their unsuccessful partner/marriage into a successful one? 8) How to maintain love?

@Danioover9000 This is a problematic view here. Instead, use the traditional view that the Abrahamic religions use. You are God in essence; a soul. This means that we share the same source of all of creation. So, a human being is made up of both a soul and a body. The soul is the same soul in all things, it's God's soul. The body, however, is different. This is why you can have sex and enjoy it, because of the union it creates with your opposite. (opposite doesn't necessarily mean opposition in gender).

Because of love.. See my thread, and especially this reply;

Exactly! I like this ?? Metaphors are great for a reason; They are simple and easy to understand, and yet, difficult to cling to!

Yet, another story... This view can be helpful in certain occasions, like for silencing the mind, but the attachment to it can be very limiting, and it may also lead to nihilism and many other traps. And I'm not speculating here. I'm speaking from experience. Notice the clear distinctions you're making between the present moment, the past, and the future. These distinctions are imaginary. They're stories you're creating, and yet, keep denying. The truth is that the past and the future are the present moment. They're all one thing. This is simply a recontextualisation of what you said, a different approach, or a different angle if you will, but the mind would likely disagree because the recontextualised story doesn't go well with the stories it already has. I'm not saying you're wrong. You're absolutely right. Yet, there's a meta view that you seem to be missing; A view that isn't attached to a specific story.

The past has happened whether it's told or not. That being said; what makes the present moment special?

Story ??

Yes, consider; Being dogmatic about being present. Being unable to deal with the illusion; i.e. Resisting the illusion. Being addicted to feeling good. This question does not make sense to me.

The second half is pretty good, though. Or, the backlash was blinding me and being projected on the video.

Me too! I also usually need to look into the void to extract phrases. lol. It sucks, but I guess practice makes perfect. However, I'm interested what other people would say about this.

It can be all that, and It can be none. God isn't a fixated being; It works according to the perspective It's occupying. Also, the perspective itself gives birth to God in another form. The relative in the Absolute, and the Absolute in the relative. It's a strange-loop; no beginning and no end.

I was trying to be aware of the paradigm I'm using here. To say that I'm consciousness is not factually true because consciousness is nothing. The word 'consciousness' makes this nothing seem like something else which it isn't. I was trying not to confuse the pointer for the moon.

I would say all is for the well-being of each other. Each one is a light shining onto each other's shadows. Because God does not demonise the Devil for its devilry, but rather God wants the Devil to become God. So, God recognises the devil as ignorant, not evil. All the act is a necessary drama. Because otherwise, the devil will always remain a devil. Love works hand in hand with Goodness.
